‘IU’ Digital Single
[strawberry moon]
Things that happen inside me when I’m in love are like a fantasy,
more unreal than the strawberry moon in the night sky of June that looks as if
photoshopped.
I hope this song can recall those rare, mystical moments that might
never come back but those anyone would’ve come across at least once.
My first sketch began as a simple, easy listening track based on
acoustic guitar when song writer jonghoon lee added a refreshing piano theme
and a cool bridge, turning it into a pop rock style song led by the piano.
One of my most trustworthy songwriting partners jonghoon lee and
chaekyu lee I rely on have elaborately arranged the song to express
“weightless” emphasized in the lyrics, combining electronic elements that
depict the outer space universe.
I focused on expressing the
overall dynamics of the song when singing by using delicate sounds in the intro
and shout outs in the chorus and backing vocals.
